Analysts continue to trim South American soybean production estimates for 2018-19 due to dry weather. Some Parana farms report no losses, but other areas see yields as low as 18 bushels per acre.

Repeated downgrades to South American soybean output tighten global supply and support soybean meal and soybean prices for feed users.
